Aram Zam Zam

      Hello my dear munchkins, I have come to a decision to entertain/torture you with a song. My cousin showed it to me a while ago and I still have it stuck in my head, just like her whole class who discovered the song on YouTube. I hope this releases strong emotions in you, whether it's joy or pain, I don't really care. Have fun and Aram Zam Zam Aram Zam Zam...

Goodbye my munchkins,

Your master, Weronika

Ms. O'Sullivan

    Ms. O'Sullivan is my favourite teacher ever, I love her. She teaches me French but I wish I had her for Irish as well (she teaches ordinary level).  She has taught me so much over second and third year, she explains everything so well and helps us understand what we're learning rather than expecting us to just learn it. She is also really cool and she makes jokes a lot which makes class more fun, like the one about the ghost of the french man who died reading our French letters. I really miss her now and actually cried after the last class with her because I was so sad that I might not have her anymore. I really hope I have her in my senior years in school because she is so damn amazing.

Ms. Sharkey

      Ms. Sharkey was my Irish teacher in second and third year. She, along with Ms. Forde, teaches higher level. It's really annoying how ordinary level got the best teachers. I must admit I hated Ms. Sharkey in second year. Mostly probably because she wouldn't let me and my friend Alex sit together. Also, to be honest, she isn't the best teacher.
     However, in third year, I began to like her. Well, I started doing better in Irish and answered questions in class all the time. As you can see I'm quite the teacher's pet. Anyway, this caused her to like me more, in turn causing me to like her. I like being liked by teachers. She is actually not that bad and can be quite funny at times. I can safely say I'm glad I had her rather than Ms. Forde.

Sorry

     I haven't been posting very much recently and I'm sorry. I had exams coming up and I had to pretend to study sometimes and then the rest of the time was just spent enjoying the sun, cos this is the only summer we're gonna get here in Ireland. I've also kinda screwed up my thumb so I've got this big support thing on my right hand so it's really hard to type so I'm sorry but you're not gonna be hearing much from me for a little while. Weronika should be able to do some stuff though.
     Goodbye my munchkins,

Junior Cert- The Beginning

     So today was the start of the Junior Cert. Your thinking that I must be stressing, but your wrong. I am excited and happy and relaxed and have a smile on my face ever since I woke up.
      The exams started with English, paper one and two, well unless you're doing ordinary level the you just have paper one. I think I  did alright in the exam to be honest. I must admit it was a bit hard but I think I'll get an honours result. I finished both the papers with time to spare, which is really good because never have I finished a paper two before.
      Now I need to complain  about the length of our lunch break. Seriously, who needs a two hour break, an hour is enough and then we would finish earlier rather than at half four. Also, the amount of people doing last minute study during the break, yeah I get it, it may work for some people, but in my opinion it just stresses you out before the exam. I think an hour long break is enough, during which we should stop thinking about the exams and just relax.
      I don't study for exams, I just pay attention in class, and when I have exams I relax and I do good so I think relaxation is pretty good. Anyway, wish me luck on the rest of the exams, Irish tomorrow!!!

Suburbia

     Suburbia is a film about a group of punks who call themselves ’TR’ or ‘The Rejected.’ They’re squatting in an abandoned house in a ghost estate in the suburbs of town. It’s based mainly around the experience of one of the newer members of the group. He had run away from home because his mother was an alcoholic and when his mother was sent to jail, for drunk driving, his younger brother (about 8 y/o) joined them too. I’ve watched this film so many times and I never grow sick of it. It’s the only movie I’ve ever actually cried while watching. It’s an amazing film and really makes you feel as if you’ve known the characters for all your life.  It’s definitely worth a watch, it’s just so realistic. I really love it, so GO AND WATCH!!!

Green Day

     These guys were going to have to come up eventually. Anyone who knows me, knows that I went through a phase of obsessing over them. Now don’t get me wrong, I still love them but I’m over that phase of thinking that everything Green Day related is amazing because some of the stuff they do is just really shit. I’ve come to a point in my life where I’m happy to listen to a variety of music, I used to just find a band I liked and listen them to death and I almost did that with these guys. So anyway, onto the band, Green Day consists of four members: Billie Joe Armstrong; Tre Cool; Mike Dirnt; Jason White. Jason is the newest addition to the band; he played back up guitar for years when they were touring and was included in their most recent releases. Tre Cool (not his real name, obviously) joined after their first drummer left to go to college (I think they were about 19). Mike and Billie Joe are both original members of the band. They got really huge on releasing their second album, Dookie, in 1994, which is their best to date. They've released eleven albums so far, which are all fairly good bar their last three. They just recently released a trilogy, the albums are creatively named ‘Uno’, ‘Dos’ and ‘Tre’, which I think on their part was not a good idea. Within the three albums there are a few really good songs but also loads of awful ones, I think they could've made one reasonably good album out of the three. My favourite album was the one that was released 3 years before I was born, Dookie. I also love Nimrod and Insomniac but Dookie is definitely the best album they have. I’ll include my favourite song by them down there, please give them a listen if you somehow don’t know their stuff already, you never know you might like them. Oh and just to clarify they aren't really punk these days, more pop-punk. I could go on about because, as I said earlier, I used to obsess over them but I'm not gonna, that's what Wikipedia is for. I've given you my opinions on them and probably will give more at some point but that's it for now.
